Nice to grab the 2nd rated recruit in the state. Iowa has 4 of the top 6. We have to start chipping away at that ratio at some point.
As I posted in another thread, it really isn't a huge difference. Over four recruiting classes (2017-2020), Iowa has recruited 17 out of the 40 possible top 10 recruits. ISU has recruited 13 out of the 40 possible top 10 recruits. Other schools accounted for the remaining 10 recruits. The 2020 class has 4 going to Iowa and 4 going to ISU. I'd say Campbell is right in there battling.

Yeah, but how many of Iowa's 17 were the top 2-3 and how many of our 13 were 6-10?

I think we would all like to see ISU "beat" Iowa in recruiting in-state kids, but the truth of the matter is that there is not much difference separating any of these kids. Both schools will have to rely on player development. KF has done a very good job of that and CMC is demonstrating he also understands that 3* kids from the Midwest can develop into a talented squad.

Look at the ESPN list. Neither Iowa or ISU currently has a recruit in the Top 100. Yet either program can defeat a blue blood on any given Saturday.
